Create Frequency Study with Mixed Mesh Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to create a frequency study using a mixed mesh.

NOTE: To get persistent reference identifiers (PIDs) for model selections, you can use pidcollector.exe or IModelDocExtension::GetPersistReference3.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------

' Preconditions:

' 1. Add the SolidWorks Simulation as an add-in

'    (in SolidWorks, click Tools > Add-ins > SolidWorks Simulation).

' 2. Add the SolidWorks Simulation primary interop assembly as

'    a reference (in the IDE's Project Explorer, right-click

'    the project name, select Add Reference, click the Browse tab,

'    navigate to the <SolidWorks_install_dir>\api\redist\CLR2 folder and

'    select SolidWorks.Interop.cosworks.dll).

' 3. Modify the path to solidworks materials.sldmat if needed.

' 4. Open the Immediate window.

' 5. Run the macro.

'

' Postconditions:

'  1. Assembly is opened.

'  2. Frequency mixed-mesh study is created.

'  3. Material is applied.

'  4. Fixed restraint is applied.

'  5. Bonded contact set is applied.

'  6. Link connectors are added.

'  7. Mesh is created.

'  8. Analysis is run.

'  9. Resonant frequencies are printed to the Immediate window.

'

' NOTE: Because this assembly document is used by a SolidWorks

'    Simulation online tutorial, do not save any changes when

'    closing the document.
